ECX Enters the 1/8 Buggy Market

[SchrodeMode]

ECX is now in the 1/8 scale buggy market with their Revenge Type E. If their buggy is as good as their previous rigs, it'll be a great beginner/budget basher. Of course it's not as "fancy" looking as some of the higher end buggies, but for a $400 RTR 1/8 scale buggy, I think it looks good. I put some specs and other info below, what do y'all think?

Its a good looking buggy. 130A, mmeehhh. Almost looked like it was nose heavy for some reason though.

I just noticed that they have a Nitro version, so they not only made the move to 1/8 scale but they jumped into the nitro scene as well. The nitro version is looking like $350 RTR, with a Dynamite .21 engine.
